COSTENO ROJO CHILE 11 LBS CASE
Costeno Chile (pronounced “co-stain-yo”), Capsicum annuum, is also called chile Costeno, chili Costeno, or Costeno Pepper. Costeno Chiles are very hard to find chile outside of Mexico and are also one of the Mexican chiles that is referred to by one name when dried and another when fresh (i.e. jalapeno in its fresh state and Chipotle when dried). When growing fresh, these chiles are typically referred to as “bandeno” (refers to the bank of a river) or “casero” (translates to “homemade”). This chile may also be spelled costena.
As with most landrace chiles, there are numerous variations, and the Costeño Rojo is no exception. Landrace chiles are a locally adapted, traditional variety of chile that has developed over time, through adaptation to its natural environment. Landrace chiles may be similar (or closely related) to other chiles from a nearby area. Some farmers grow cultivars of Costeno Rojo that are about 1.5″ long by .5″ wide, while others are between 2″ to 3″ long while being a bit slenderer.
Our supply typically comes in at 2.75″- 3″ long by 1″ – 1.5″ wide. No matter where they’re grown, they all tend to be relatively hot and somewhat fruity. There are also several colors of Costeno Chiles – red, called Costeno Rojo, and yellow, called Costeno Amarillo. We carry the Costeno Rojo Chile.
